Chassis 98RS coupe  
milage on chassis 120K  
milage on motor appox 60K  
STI ver5 motor  
Stock RS tranny/diff  
Version 4 bumper w/fogs  
Version 5 wing  
stock struts with rennsport springs  
also set of stock struts and springs  
jdm front strut bar  
front lip  
3" turbo back  
turbo xs recirc bov  
new muffler (the old one was just waaay too loud… this one is really quite.  
new rear brakes as in calipers… pads… rotors… litterally 200km  
4 pistons up front… pads replaced 15K ago  
NGK plugs replaced 15K ago  
New clutch assembly replaced 15K ago  
stock wrx rims 3mm spacer to clear the 4pots  
sti shifter w/linkages  
jdm recaro reclinable bucket seats  
SARD boost controller  
Sparco Steering wheel  
jdm rear spats  
2 amps - stereo deck / sub  
alpine alarm

All fluids just recently changed… oil… tranny… rear diff

now for the bad…  
the car has a few issues… some can be sorted out easy while others i dont know… but maybe someone more familliar with jdm motors can cure the problems

1. CEL while on vacuum for a longer period of time… ie: exiting hwy… keeping in 5th gear and engine braking will cause CEL.  
CEL will dissappear as soon as you come to a stop and revs drop.

2. The car is 10 years old and the paint has seen better days.

3. CD deck is a little messed up… CD wont eject and can only be controlled by remote

Given that a stock RS with equal milage goes for $6000 +- steal this one for  
$8500 firm w/safety and emissions.

Thanks for looking[/b]

if interested send email to: [dean@softboxstudios.com](mailto:dean@softboxstudios.com) and i’ll reply with pictures… Also wanting to trade for a nice S13/14

Cheers  
Dean

Im not 100% sure on who did the swap as i bought the car with the motor already in, this car used to belong to the shop Promax and I think (again not 100% sure) Rich AKA VerIII did the swap.
